After a general introduction to ADR, the book provides a comprehensive discussion on the different aspects of law and procedure, in relation to conduct of arbitration in India and enforcement of foreign arbitral awards. It then deals with the law and practice of negotiation, mediation, conciliation and the Lok-Adalat. The book also lays emphasis on the emerging areas in ADR practice in India like court-annexed ADR and ADR in the criminal justice system. It concludes with a critical appraisal of the implementation of ADR over the past decade and recommends some future steps to strengthen the practice of ADR in India.
